Poems by Edgar Albert Guest
When Day Is Done
... Where the Mother reigns and the children play ...
The Flag
... But never guessed the griefs they kept ...
A Friends Greeting
... And feel that I could rouse your soul the way that mine you've stirred ...
Fishing Reasons
... And I want to be free from the care-drawn face ...
A Query
... As paperhangers in the house ...
War
... It lures brave men with scurrying feet ...
Summer Dreams
... I have learned that not all of our dreams can come true ...
The Peaks Of Valor
... To the best your father taught you and the best you've learned anew, ...
Canning Time
... There's the sound of spoon on platter ...
A Vow
... To grasp at shadows of more splendid things, ...
A Father's Tribute
... He is as fine and true a son as ever a father had ...
We Who Stay At Home
... And as we prayed and watched o'er you when you were wrapped in sleep, ...
Not A Money Debt
... That your only chance of squaring up the debt you owe your dad ...
Nothing To Laugh At
... An' my Pa laughed, too, when he looked at me, ...
The Bride
... Cares grow sweet when lovers share them ...
